Jan 16, 2020, by Pat
Update: New Balance today officially launched the next-generation Furon soccer cleats, alongside a new paint job for the NB Tekela. They are the first-ever knitted NB soccer cleats ever.
Update: New Balance has given us a first official look at the next-gen Furon boots, the brand's first to feature a knitted upper. This announcement has happened in the form of a slightly adjusted special edition for Liverpool winger Sadio Mané, who was recently crowned the African Player of the Year 2019.
Update: No other than Liverpool superstar and New Balance top player Sadio Mané has trained in the next-generation New Balance Furon v6, New Balance's first-ever knitted football boot. They are set to be released soon. He could already debut them in tomorrow's Premier League match against Sheffield United.
Sadio Mané Trains In Next-Gen New Balance Furon VI Boots
Earlier this year, we gave you the first details on the New Balance Furon 6.0, which will be the brand's first football boot to feature a knitted design.
Today, we can give you a first actual look at the NB Furon VI, which is slated for release in early 2020.
New Balance Furon 6.0
This is the next-gen NB Furon 6.0 cleat.
Likely the debut colorway, this NB Furon 6.0 is predominantly red with a fading graphic around the sides and front in dark red, which is also the color used for the sole plate.
In terms of tech, the New Balance Furon 6 cleats have a knitted 'Flyweave' upper with a thin synthetic layer added on top for added protection. This is the same as we've come to expect from knitted soccer cleats from brands such as Adidas and Nike.
A very aggressive sole plate config is used, similar to the one found on the Nike Mercurial.

No More Volt: Reebok Santa Cruz 26-27 Third Kit Released
Brazilian club Santa Cruz FC and Reebok have officially unveiled the team's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Titled "A Profecia de 57", the special-edition release celebrates two defining moments in the club's history: the 1957 anthem written by Capiba that coined the nickname "O Terror do Nordeste", and the 2016 Copa do Nordeste title that fulfilled the prophecy ten years ago.
The Reebok Santa Cruz 26-27 third jersey introduces an elegant black and gold design. Across the black base, intricate golden fractured lines trace the geographical outline of Brazil's Northeast region. The front of the shirt features Santa Cruz's classic interlocking SCFC monogram badge rendered in metallic gold, mirrored by Reebok's vector logo on the opposite side. A sharp v-neck collar with gold trim and matching sleeve cuffs complete the look.
Subtle commemorative emblems highlighting "A Profecia de 57" and "O Terror do Nordeste" decorate the release alongside gold numbering on the reverse. Matching black shorts and socks with gold accents complete the new Santa Cruz third uniform.
Club Africain 26-27 Third Kit Released
Following the unveiling of their home kit earlier two weeks ago, Tunisian giants Club Africain and technical sponsor Kelme have officially launched the club's new third kit for the 26-27 campaign.
The Kelme Club Africain 26-27 third jersey delivers a sleek and stealthy design, featuring a black base elevated by an intricate tonal graphic pattern with calligraphic undertones across the front and sleeves. Strong contrast comes via the classic fold-over collar, styled in red with thin white tipping, matched by solid red sleeve cuffs. Below the rear collar, the shirt includes the club motto "Beyond the last breath" stamped in red.
The shirt is finished with white details for the Kelme paw logo and front sponsor Ooredoo, sitting alongside the traditional red and white Club Africain crest. Matching black shorts and socks complete the full look for the Tunisian side.

Boca Juniors Tribute: Sint-Truiden 26-27 European Kit Released
Belgian Pro League club Sint-Truidense VV has officially unveiled its new European kit for the 26-27 season, produced by regional brand Olympic. The special strip was revealed during the premiere of the club documentary 'Expeditie Kanarie: de weg naar Europa' at CC De Bogaard, celebrating STVV's historic first qualification for the main stages of European competition in club history.
The Olympic Sint-Truiden 26-27 European jersey draws heavy inspiration from Boca Juniors while paying tribute to the club's iconic late-1980s 'BT-shirt'. It features a royal blue base highlighted by a bold yellow horizontal chest band that accommodates the Maruhan sponsor logo. The STVV crest and Olympic branding are centered neatly above the chest stripe, complemented by yellow trim along the V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs. Matching blue shorts and yellow socks complete the look.
Sint-Truiden will wear the new kit throughout their 26-27 UEFA Conference League league phase campaign, where their fixtures include matchups against Ajax, Hajduk Split, SK Brann, FC Midtjylland, FC Lugano, and FC Iberia 1999 Tbilisi.
